Racism is a major problem in Australia – 20% of people at sporting events have experienced or witnessed racism in Australia (Lowitja). Within schools, the exposure increases to 33% (ANU). The impacts of experiencing racism on young Australians include a lower health score and more mental health issues in their lifetime (Foundation for Young Australians).
Sport is of critical cultural importance to Australia and Australians. Everyone has an important role to play in promoting cultural harmony and inclusiveness across all levels of their sport - from elite, to community.
On this page you can explore a range of resources, courses, videos and podcasts and learn from the experiences of organisations who are leading the charge to remove racism from sport.
We also recommend completing our Dealing with the Moment – Anti-Racism in Community Sport course which helps community coaches, umpires, participants and volunteers to deal with racism in the moment it occurs.
